World Heritage 28 COM World Heritage 28 COM Distribution limited WHC-04/28.COM/14A Paris, 24 May 2004 Original: English/French UNITED NATIONS EDUCATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATION CONVENTION CONCERNING THE PROTECTION OF THE WORLD CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE Twenty-eighth session Suzhou, China 28 June – 7 July 2004 Item 14 of the Provisional Agenda: Tentative Lists of States Parties submitted as of 15 May 2004 in conformity with the Operational Guidelines SUMMARY This document presents the Tentative Lists of all States Parties submitted in conformity with the Operational Guidelines as of 15 May 2004. The Committee is requested to note that all nominations of properties to be examined by the 28th session of the Committee are included in the Tentative Lists of the respective States Parties. In order to provide the World Heritage Committee with a greater opportunity to review new additions to the Tentative Lists, this document is completed by 3 annexes: •= Annex 1 presents a full list of States Parties indicating the date of the most recent Tentative List submission. •= Annex 2 presents new Tentative Lists (or additions to Tentative Lists) submitted by States Parties since the last session of the Committee. •= Annex 3 presents a list of all properties submitted on Tentative Lists received from these States Parties, in English alphabetical order. Property names are listed in the language in which they have been submitted by the State Party. Draft Decision 28 COM 14A: see page 2 Examination of Tentative Lists 1. The Committee requests each State Party to submit to it an inventory of the cultural and natural properties situated within its territory, which it considers suitable for inclusion and it intends to nominate for inscription to the World Heritage List during the following five to ten years. The purpose of these inventories, also known as Tentative Lists, is to enable the Committee to evaluate within the widest possible context the "outstanding universal value" of each property nominated to the List. At its 24th session (Cairns, 2000), the Committee confirmed the importance of these Lists for planning purposes, comparative analyses of nominations and for facilitating the undertaking of the global and thematic studies. It also decided that the Tentative Lists would be mandatory for all properties which the State Party intends to nominate for inscription on the World Heritage List. 2. Therefore, the Committee invites the States Parties, which have not yet done so, to submit as early as possible Tentative Lists in accordance with the Operational Guidelines, with the understanding that "preparatory assistance should be provided if necessary and requested by the State Party concerned". 3. Furthermore, it is useful to recall the recommendations of the 12th General Assembly of States Parties (October 1999) concerning Tentative Lists. The General Assembly invited: •= all States Parties to prepare or re-examine their tentative lists in the light of the methodology developed and regional and thematic definitions by focusing on categories of heritage which are still under-represented on the List; •= the States Parties that already have a substantial number of sites inscribed on the World Heritage List to initiate and encourage bilateral and multilateral co-operation with States Parties whose heritage is still under-represented in the List within the framework of the preparation of tentative lists, nominations and training programmes, and to give priority to the re-examination of their tentative lists within the framework of regional consultations and to the preparation of periodic reports; •= the States Parties whose heritage is still under-represented on the List to give priority to the preparation of tentative lists and nominations; •= the advisory bodies to pursue their programmes of thematic studies and the classification of the themes into sub-themes, on the basis of the tentative lists prepared by States Parties and the recommendations of the regional experts meetings; •= the Secretariat of the Convention to support in particular the efforts of States Parties whose heritage is still under-represented on the List in the preparation of their tentative lists and nominations. 4. As of 15 May 2004, of the 178 which had ratified the Convention, 134 States Parties had submitted Tentative Lists in accordance with the requirements specified in the Operational Guidelines, 44 States Parties had not submitted any Tentative List. All the nominations submitted for examination in 2004 (see WHC-04/28.COM/14B) are included on the tentative lists of the States concerned. 5. In response to the decision of the Committee (Decision 27 COM 8A, para 4) this document presents for the first time the Tentative Lists submissions received since the last session of the Committee as a separate annex. Since the 27th session of the Committee, 31 States Parties had submitted new Tentative Lists or modified existing Lists. The number of new properties added to the Tentative Lists by these changes is 106. These properties are presented in Annex 2 of this document. Tentative Lists of States Parties submitted as of 15 May 2004 in conformity with the Operational Guidelines WHC-04/28.COM/14A, p. 1 6. In compliance with the Committee decision 27 COM 8A para 5, the complete Tentative Lists of all States Parties are accessible to the public at the following web address: http://whc.unesco.org/tentative-lists.htm. Draft Decision 28 COM 14A The World Heritage Committee, 1. Takes note of the Tentative Lists presented in Annexes II and III of this document; 2. Recognizing that the full agenda of the Committee at its 28th Session does not allow a discussion concerning the improved use of Tentative Lists as requested by the Committee in its decision 27 COM 8A, 3. Decides to include on the Agenda of its 29th session an item concerning the improved use of Tentative Lists; Tentative Lists of States Parties submitted as of 15 May 2004 in conformity with the Operational Guidelines WHC-04/28.COM/14A, p. 2 Contents of the Annexes1: Annex 1 Situation relative to Tentative Lists Annex 2 Submission to Tentative Lists since 05/06/2003 Annex 3 Africa Annex page 1 Arab States page 2 Asia / Pacific page 3 Europe / North America page 6 Latin America / Caribbean page 12 1 The content of the Annexes is taken from the Tentative List database.

  • Struve Geodetic Arc Joins World Heritage List
    ARTICLE Struve Geodetic Arc Joins World Heritage List 15th July, Durban, South Africa The World Heritage Committee chaired by Themba Wakashe, South Africa’s deputy director-general for Heritage and National Archives has inscribed seventeen cultural sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The nominations took place on 15th July at a meeting in Durban, South Africa. The World Heritage List now numbers 812 sites in total, including 628 cultural, 160 natural and 24 mixed sites, in 137 States. Bahrain, the Republic of Moldova and Bosnia and Herzegovina enter the List for the first time. The sites inscribed during the current session of the World Heritage Committee include three transboundary sites and extensions to six sites that were already on the List. The Struve Geodetic Arc is the first survey-site on the list. The countries hosting the Struve Geodetic Arc are Belarus, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation, Sweden and Ukraine. The Struve Geo- detic Arc is a chain of survey triangulations stretching from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea, through ten countries and over 2,820km. These are the points of a survey carried out between 1816 and 1855 by the astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve and represent the first accurate measuring of a long segment of a meridian. This helped establish the exact size and shape of our planet and marked an important step in the development of earth sciences and topographic mapping. It is an extraordinary example of scientific collaboration among scientists from different countries, and of collaboration between monarchs, for a scientific cause.

  • The Struve Geodetic Arc and Its Possible Connections to the Arc of the 30Th Meridian in Africa
    The Struve Geodetic Arc and Its Possible Connections to the Arc of the 30th Meridian in Africa James R SMITH, United Kingdom Keywords. Arc, Struve, 30th Arc, UNESCO SUMMARY This paper discusses the possible connections between the Struve Geodetic Arc and the Arc of the 39th Meridian in East Africa. Was the proposal by Otto Struve in 1868 carried out? If so, where are the results, if not, why not? Brief mention is made of the various later connections from the Struve Arc in Belarus to North Africa and hence a join in Egypt to the Arc of the 30th Meridian.

  • Settlement Patterns, Chiefdom Variability, and the Development of Early States in North China
    JOURNAL OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL ARCHAEOLOGY 15, 237±288 (1996) ARTICLE NO. 0010 Settlement Patterns, Chiefdom Variability, and the Development of Early States in North China LI LIU School of Archaeology, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia Received June 12, 1995; revision received May 17, 1996; accepted May 26, 1996 In the third millennium B.C., the Longshan culture in the Central Plains of northern China was the crucial matrix in which the ®rst states evolved from the basis of earlier Neolithic societies. By adopting the theoretical concept of the chiefdom and by employing the methods of settlement archaeology, especially regional settlement hierarchy and rank-size analysis, this paper introduces a new approach to research on the Longshan culture and to inquiring about the development of the early states in China. Three models of regional settlement pattern correlating to different types of chiefdom systems are identi®ed. These are: (1) the centripetal regional system in circumscribed regions representing the most complex chiefdom organizations, (2) the centrifugal regional system in semi-circumscribed regions indicating less integrated chiefdom organization, and (3) the decentral- ized regional system in noncircumscribed regions implying competing and the least complex chief- dom organizations. Both external and internal factors, including geographical condition, climatic ¯uctuation, Yellow River's changing course, population movement, and intergroup con¯ict, played important roles in the development of complex societies in the Longshan culture. As in many cultures in other parts of the world, the early states in China emerged from a system of competing chiefdoms, which was characterized by intensive intergroup con¯ict and frequent shifting of political centers.

Copyright restrictions may apply. doi: 10.1086/692104 Early “Neolithics” of China: Variation and Evolutionary Implications SHENGQIAN CHEN, School of History, Renmin University of China, Beijing 100872 PEI-LIN YU, Department of Anthropology, Boise State University, Boise, ID 83725, USA. Email: [email protected] The growth and significance of scientific research into the origins of agriculture in China calls for fresh examination at scales large enough to facilitate explanation of cultural evolutionary processes. The Paleolithic to Neolithic transition (PNT) is not yet well-understood because most archaeo- logical research on early agriculture cites data from the more conspicuous and common early Neo- lithic sites. In this, the first of two papers, we synthesize a broad range of early Neolithic archae- ological data, including diagnostic artifacts, settlement patterns, site structure, and biological remains, to consider agriculture as a system-level adaptive phenomenon. Although farming by this period was already well-established in much of North China and the middle Yangtze River basin, echoes of the foraging past can be found in the persistence of hunting-related artifacts in North China’s Loess Plateau and aquatic-based intensification and vegeculture in South China. Our analysis of the growing body of Chinese data and projections using Binford’s hunting and gathering database indicate that agriculture was differentially developed, adopted, or resisted by foragers according to measurable, predictable initial conditions of habitat that influenced diet breadth.

It is traditionally argued by proponents of the Movius Line that ‘true’ Acheulean bifaces, especially handaxes, are only found in abundance in Africa and western Eurasia, whereas in eastern Asia, in front of the ‘line’, these implements are rare or absent altogether. Here we argue, however, that the Movius Line relies on classifying undated surface bifaces as Acheulean on typological grounds alone, a long-standing and widely accepted practice in Africa and western Eurasia, but one that is not seen as legitimate in eastern Asian contexts. A review of the literature shows that bifaces are relatively common as surface finds in Southeast Asia and on this basis we argue that the Movius Line is in need of reassessment.

    KroeberAnthropological Society Papers, Nos. 71-72, 1990 A Case Study of the "erectus" - "sapiens" Transition in Asia: Hominid Remains from Hexian and Chaoxian Counties, Anhui Province, China Dennis A. Etler Newly discoveredfossil hominidsfrom the late middle Pleistocene ofChina demonstrate that archaic forms of Homo sapiens were either coexistent with or slightly more recent than advancedforms of Homo erectus. This is most clearly seen at sites in Hexian and Chaoxian counties, Anhui province, which date to between 150-200,000 YBP by uranium series tests. The replacement of H. erectus by archaic H. sapiens in China is characterized by the retention of a significant component of heritage features in archaic H. sapiens, overlaid by a mosaic of changes in craniofacial anatomy that trend towards modern humans. This new evidence givespowerful support to the regional continuity theory of human evolution in eastAsia. Furthermore, it suggests that the transitionfrom H. erectus to archaic H. sapiens in China was relatively quick andpossibly modulated by a heightening ofgeneflow between western and eastern Asia at approximately 250,000 YBP.
